Thanks for the linkback! I’ve got a major theological piece in the works, and this year’s Nanowrimo novel entirely takes place at a church retreat (it’s an expansion/fictionalization of some of the memoir posts I wrote earlier this year). Stay tuned!

Well I’m not publicly sharing the novel as I’m writing it, but you can read the first few paragraphs at my Nanowrimo profile page. The basic twist of the story has deep roots—I wrote a short story about it several years ago—and the characters have been with me for over a decade. I guess it’s a consolidation of everything I’ve written in this vein for a while.

While not TWWK, I can say that there isn’t an anime channel on TV in the US. There are streaming sites online – Hulu, Crunchyroll, Funimation, VIZ – that show anime. (And those are the legal sites with licensed anime, illegal ones have the unlicensed ones!)

Well, each of the two particular series mentioned in this post can be seen easily (and legally). I won Madoka Magica on DVD and Shinsekai Yori is streaming on Crunchyroll.

I did use to have Anime Network on Demand, which was just serendipitously part of my basic digital cable package. It showed a wonderful variety of shows, including some that became favorites (Aria, FMP: Fumoffu, Kanon), and really was largely responsible for getting me back into anime, when I’d been a very casual viewer for many years prior.
